U.S. geopolitical power isn’t what it used to be. As the ascendant nation in the aftermath of WW II, we could work our will on global adversaries by isolating them from the international commerce our enormous economy allowed. The writer suggests this is no longer true.
If you want to know why the referenda that concluded in Ukraine on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved the choice to join Russia, you should explore reports of Ukrainian war crimes, as in this video. Dead bodies in the street in a non-military zone cannot easily be dismissed.
But I expect my moral “superiors” will do so.
This is a curious story. Some speculate that the two pipelines have been sabotaged. If so, then geopolitical or merely industrial motives could be the reason. But why sabotage undersea pipelines that aren’t even in use?

The only person we have on video clearly advocating storming the Capitol Building in the days BEFORE Jan 6 is Rays Epps, who was dropped from the FBI’s most wanted list abruptly and who the Jan 6 committee will not discuss. That refusal to acknowledge his presence or even his existence has fueled speculation that he was one of a number of agents provocateurs planted by the FBI to encourage the riot.
